A patented technology to revolutionize smart textiles

The patented technology from Sensing Tex is a unique combination of the most advanced materials available:

• Electronic inks and pastes which are flexible, elastic and can be printed on materials with special surface preparations are used to construct complex passive and active electronic systems. (Technologies are based on organic printed electronics)
• Both conventional and silicon based fibre optics woven into textile to create a light emmiting fabric. (Technology based on light guides)

Sensing Tex technology can be integrated with any type of material or other technologies under exclusive or shared licence. The technology can be applied using completely standard weaving, printing, lamination and impregnation techniques which maintain the original properties of the material such as the flexibility, elasticity, comfort and the ability to wash etc.

Main differentiating characteristics:

• By using only one coat of material, the textile remains lighter, thinner, more flexible, cheaper and more environmentally friendly than other solutions using other technologies.
• The possibility to combine different materials with different properties – pressure, light or temperature – in the same textile.
• Use of the textile sector’s standard machinery and techniques allows the use of multiple manufacturers leading to larger production capacity, shorter production times and greater possibility for cost reduction.
• Maximum flexibility for circuit design, since with the application of electronic inks our technology is not limited by a certain type of weaving machinery or process that would limit circuit design options in less advanced technologies.
